I think it's important to keep that part of our history in mind.
The dentelle
Lacemakers and lace-makers use bobbins and hooks, the work is meticulous, some craftsmen can make true works of art, the precision of lace can hardly be achieved mechanically.

Wool
Wool workers harvested sheep's wool at the beginning of the warm season, after a long cleaning process, the wool is spun and transformed into spools to knit clothes afterwards.
